Yet, Lulu remained unaffected.

Her heart untouched.

She reached out directly, grasping the little mermaid s shoulder and giving it a gentle shake.

The mermaid s melancholic visage, gazing skyward at a 45° angle, appeared fragmented and floren.

I hope the abyss hasn't tormented your mind too much.

Perhaps I should summon a sprite to assist you.

She patted the mermaid's head, ensuring she detected no trace of the abyss.

Not at all, the little mermaid replied, shaking her head.

After the consumption by sprites and fairies, only a few remnants of abyssal energy remained in the divine realm, insufficient to even form a core.

Such abyssal energy was hardly worthy of the lowest tier of abyssal creatures.

For a divine being like the Little Mermaid, succumbing to it would be an unfortunate fate indeed.

Fortunately, all is well, Lu responded, releasing her grip on the Little Mermaid.

Leu emphasized.

"Very well," the Little Mermaid said, rising to attend to her tasks.

She approached the stove, clearing away the ash, scrubbing the pot, and rummaging through her space before stating, "I have no ingredients here.

I need to go out and purchase some.

Let us go.

Let us go.

" Chapter 273.

Suzi Hon following the Little Mermaid.

The Little Mermaid nodded, summoning the waves to buoy her heavy form and leap into the air.

Allow me to accompany you.

It shall expedite our journey," said Lulu.

A robust willow branch descended from the heavens, twisting into the shape of two seats.

Lulu settled into one, leaving the other for the Little Mermaid.

With the divine realm having expanded, we are now equidistant from the second fairy city and Pearl City.

"Which shall we choose?" Lulu inquired.

"Either is fine," the Little Mermaid replied, observing the Little Mermaid s nonulence.

Lulu felt no eye and made the decision herself.

Then let us head to the second fairy city.

By now, the sour and spicy fish porridge at Joa<unk>s should be serving.

We shall indulge in a bowl of porridge first and then procure our ingredients.

A grand shopping spree awaits.

With that, the willow branch surged forth, carrying the little mermaid across the night sky.

The divine radiance shimmering brightly within the celestial realm.

This spectacle caught the attention of Suzie Han, who had risen early.

With a flicker of her consciousness, she discerned that it was Lu and the Little Mermaid in the sky.

And feeling restless, she yearned to see what they were up to.

This morning, Suzie Han had awakened early.

After a period of diligent effort, she had managed to adjust her body and the interior of her divine realm.

The discomfort stemmed from the rapid growth in her cultivation.

While her divine realm had expanded mindlessly nearly 10,000 times alongside recent minor renovations and new imperial development plans, the continuous hustle had kept her confined within the temple for several months.

Upon spotting Lulu and the Little Mermaid joyfully seated on the willow branch, she could no longer remain still.

She craved adventure.

With a swift incantation, Suzi Han cloaked her appearance, transforming into a small fairy of slightly more than human height.

She followed Lulu and the Little Mermaid closely.

Once the two landed, she utilized spatial teleportation to merge into a throng of fairies, trailing behind them undetected due to her overwhelming level.

The expanded second fairy city was exceptionally spacious, following Lulu and the Little Mermaid.

She listened intently as they strolled and conversed.

The two engaged in discussions of joy and sorrow, memories and the philosophy of life, as well as practical matters like what ingredients to purchase, such as when to add Sichuan peppercorns and chili for their spicy hot pot.

Topics brimming with the essence of life.

Initially, the Little Mermaid spoke little, seemingly in a somber mood.

However, as Lulu persistently posed questions, the Little Mermaid found herself compelled to respond.

Her words blossoming as her demeanor brightened.

Suzah Han trailed behind as they turned into a porridge shop, evidently intending to have breakfast first.

The establishment was spacious, adorned with a fabric sign swaying in the breeze, proclaiming Zhao's sour and spicy fish porridge.

The air was suffused with the fragrant aroma of rice.

Entering Suzi Han mimicked Lulu and the Little Mermaid, purchasing the same items they did.

After acquiring two bowls of different flavored porridge and a few flatbreads, she settled at a table behind them.

In that moment, she felt rather peculiar, akin to an observer, clutching the menu and awaiting her order.

She listened intently to their lively conversation.

Suzie Han discovered that despite the seemingly contentious and quarrelome nature of Lulu and The Little Mermaid, their relationship was in fact quite harmonious.

It was my first visit to this establishment.

Is the cuisine truly delectable? Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Pippy often brings me here, and the flavors are exquisite, though the proprietor only opens in the morning with limited hours.

So arriving late guarantees one will miss out on the delights.

Isn T Pippy located in Mingju City.

He is well acquainted with every city knowing precisely when each restaurant opens from the beginning to the end of the month.

I am not fond of sour and spicy fish porridge.

Will the poor porridge you recommended genuinely be delightful? I believe it will be.

If you find it unpalatable, you can give it to me and you must try the cilantro filled pancakes.

They are utterly marvelous.

Cilantro truly brings joy.

Soon, a standing mushroom arrived with a large platter, serving the dishes for Lulu and the Little Mermaid.

The two remained silent, engrossed in their meal, observing their deep immersion in the flavors.

Suzie Han could sense the exquisite taste.

The Little Mermaid, too, had ceased to inquire anything.

The melancholic aura that had enveloped her moments ago had considerably dissipated.

Suzi Han blinked.

She felt she had seen this luminescent mushroom somewhere before.

Gray rice or rice gray.

Chapter 274.

A dectable breakfast.

It appears that the name she has chosen for the mushroom reflects its esteemed status among the fairies.

Yet a luminescent mushroom, a formidable being serving dishes in a restaurant.

Sister, your sour and spicy fish kanji, scallion porkanji, and cilantro stuffed pancake have arrived.

The luminescent mushroom balancing a food tray gracefully placed it upon Suz Xi Han's small table.

At that moment, Suzhan found herself utterly captivated.

The identity of the luminescent mushroom became trivial in comparison to the culinary delights before her.

The dishes were breathtaking.

A steaming bowl of kanji, one a vibrant yellow red, adorned with bright red pickled peppers, and the other a rich brown featuring tender morsels of meat and rice garnished with a sprinkle of vern scallions.

The aroma wafted enticingly through the air.

She eagerly commenced her breakfast, feeling an exquisite pleasure.

The ingredients, while ordinary, yielded an extraordinary flavor.

The kanji was thick and creamy.

The sour and spicy fish kanji infused with copious amounts of deboned fish.

Fresh and sweet without a hint of fishiness.

The broth subtly laced with ginger yet devoid of ginger shreds accompanied by the tangy spicy crushed pickled peppers.

It offered a delightful peacy, rich in fragrance and utterly refreshing.

The other bowl, the brown meat kanji, was profoundly aromatic.
